Abstract

Abstract The polymerization of acrylonitrile (M), initiated by the free radicals formed in situ in the Ce (IV)-sucrose redox system, was studied in aqueous sulfuric acid medium under nitrogen atmosphere in the temperature range of 30–60°C. The rate of polymerization is proportional to M1.0, R0.76, Ce(IV)0.8, and H+−0.46. The rate of Ceric ion disappearance and the rate of polymerization Rp have been measured. The effects of some water–miscible organic solvents, surfactants, ionic strength, and complexing agents on the rate of polymerization were investigated. The temperature-dependence of the rate was studied and the activation parameters were computed using the Arrhenius and Eyring plots. A mechanism consistent with the experimental data, involving Ce(IV)-sucrose complex formation, which generates free radicals, is suggested. The chain termination step of the polymerization reaction was determined. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
